Jadis Owner's Manual & Modifications


Owner's Manual
Does anyone have an owner's manual and/or circuit schematic for an old Jadis JP-80 they would be willing to copy/scan and send? I would be happy to reimburse for the cost somehow.

Modifications
Has anyone out there ever done any modifications to a Jadis JP-80? I have two things in mind...
1) mods as described on Arthur Salvatore's website (www.high-endaudio.com) - my unit is quite old and I think the caps needs to be replaced anyway. Other mods anyone?
2) I wouldn't mind reducing the gain. Has anyone ever tried to reduce the gain level in this preamp?

Any and all information is welcome. Thanks in advance.

I may have an owner's manual, but no schematic. About a year ago I had the piece modified by Great Northern Sound. The improvements have been dramatic, especially in frequency extension. I have always appreciated the liquidity of this piece, but I now have better highs and a more pronounced bottom end. The modification was time consuming and not cheap. I am unable to verify GNS's interest in tackling another JP-80, but you may want to give them a call. Maybe just for mod recommendations.
Let me check tonight or tomorrow, I may have both if no one else has one. Only mods I made to mine were Andy Bouwman's Romantic Era treatment and putting in a few Audio Note bypass capacitors, made the unit even more liquid and non-electronic, though probably a bit more euphonic and dark as well.
